Salvia plants! (HW and blosser)

So I received two rooted salvia plants today from a member on here. The two strains are Hoffman/Wasson and Blosser.
They both arrived in good condition, though the HW had twisted itself, due to lack of light. And there was a little bit of black on the leaves due to lack of airflow.
Don't worry, they are now both in 2L bottles, and are under a CFL.
The Blosser:
The HW:
Is it okay if the leaves are touching the sides? They stick to the sides especially after spraying.
Also I received some fresh Kratom seeds. It's been 70%+ humidity in Dallas, and the temperature have been in the mid 80s, so I was thinking of just barely burying the seeds in some miracle gro "organic choice" potting soil, and watering, and seeing how nature takes care of them. I know a lot of trouble comes from aged seeds, but is it hard to start fresh seeds outside? I don't really want to start them inside too much, because I'm worried about stressing them when I bring them outside.
Thanks goes out to Drift!

Yeah. I'm really excited and happy to finally have some plants.
I'm gonna mix some potting soil together and start my kratom seeds tomorrow.

It actually has turgor pressure. It just didn't know which way to point because it had no light source, so it twisted in an odd way. It still has lots of stiffness and pressure in the stem though. I'm leaving the CFL on all night to stimulate it into standing back up.

Nice salvia plants! I ordered one a few days ago, so I'll hopefully receive it soon.

Well the HW is starting to slowly pull itself back up. The CFL helped a little, but the morning sun did most of the work.
The HW:
The Blosser:
My window sill:
They get an hour or two of morning light. And then they get good indirect light for pretty much the rest of the day.
How often should I be watering them? They're quite humid, and they were transplanted and watered well with some water/h202 yesterday. I was thinking to water them once a day for the first few days, and then begin to space it out to every other day.
Also do Kratom seedlings transplant well? Can I start them in some small containers, or should I start them in their intended pot?

you should take the lids of the bottles or put some small holes in the sides for fresh air,I'm no expert but surely they must need fresh air. just a thought. I've read that the roots can rot if the soil is kept to wet,once that happens the rot sets in to the whole plant. i just keep an eye on mine and water when needed,always making sure never to give it to much and its fine.
i also mix my soil,vermiculite and perlite together so that the top contains most of the soil and the verm gets thicker the further down it goes,and a handful of perlite mixed thru the whole thing,and a layer of clay pebbles at the very bottom. this seems to be doing the job with mine anyway,they would probably do just fine in straight potting soil alone as long as they are treated well.

I cut some holes into the sides, and put a hole in the bottle cap, so they should have decent airflow now.

They have a small root system. They both have two main roots about an inch long or so. I'm thinking of at least giving them a week before acclimating.

I sent them to him with a decent root system, but you can tell from the pics they're shipping shocked pretty hard. It'd be best to let them recover before acclimating imo, the humidity helps during that phase.

They've been growing steadily. I'd imagine they are fairly rooted, I'm gonna start acclimating them tonight.
The Blosser put out a big aerial root. At first I wasn't sure what it was and was worried, but Drift informed me of what it was.
The HW is starting to put one out also now.

Those look like they're going to do just peachy. The fact that you can see an aerial root is pretty comforting.

So I transplanted them into new pots today. The blossers roots were growing along of the edges of its pot so I'm hoping it appreciates the extra space.
Because of the small size of the last pots they were in, the leaves were conditioned to hanging low over the edge of the pots. So when I transplanted them, the large lower leaves were bending awkwardly ontop of the soil, so I just went ahead and picked them. So this is my first "harvest":
Some of the new growth is showing some browning on the leaves. Here's a picture from the blosser:
And you can see some also on the HW:
Could this be due to lack of nutes, excessive humidity/watering, poor pH levels, or lack of airflow?
I've been slowly putting more and more holes into the humidity tents to help acclimate them, so the airflow should be increasing.
I got a pH tester and it says the soil is pretty much a pH of 7. I wasn't sure if it was just stuck on 7 so I put it in vinegar and it shot to about 3, so I guess it works.
The soil they were in before was some "organic choice" Miracle Grow potting soil. The soil they are currently in is roughly about 60% compost from my pile, 5% old horse manure, and 35% organic choice miracel gro soil.
I also just gave them both a small dose of 31-11-11 fertilizer.
Overall though, they seem to be handle a little stress and bounce right back.

So the Blosser is officially done acclimating.
The Hoffman/Wasson is taking a little bit longer. I think the Blosser has a larger root system.

They're looking good, but the HW taking longer is weird. All of my HW grew so much faster than the blosser, maybe I fucked up the root system on yours or something :p

So it only took the HW an extra day before it was fully acclimated as well. They are tons easy to care for, and I've started giving them small doses of nutes.

Remember not to over water though, alot of people kill their plants like this, Water when the soil is dry up to an inch down. I water when the plant droops a little and it didn't even get black/brown tips. When you repot again try adding a little perlite if you can, helps with breathable soil= strong root growth.

I agree. Baboon, your soil mix looks like a swamp. When you transplant them, go with something that drains faster and doesn't have a large amount of rotting wood. Take that and mix 50/50 with perlite and your salvia will do much better. I thought I told you to put perlite in with your mix!

Yeah my potting soil does kinda look like a swamp. A bunch of black fly eggs hatched while I had the humidity tents on them, and now they're slowly all dieing on that windowsill.
So far the plants seem to enjoy the potting mix and extra root space, but I'll repot with perlite when I get some more.

Those are very small, but as long as you had at least one node under and one node above the soil they'll grow. Be prepared for them to take a long time to grow though, and make sure they have a lot of humidity during the process.

So my cuttings have started rooting, but they are also showing stress, possibly from not enough humidity, or those damn fungust gnat larvae got to them.
I re-potted my mother plants and cuttings into 30% Perlite and 70% Miracle Gro soil (didn't have enough perlite for 50/50).
I cleaned ALL my equipment, and made sure no soil from the previous pots transferred over, and that the soil I used was sterile. This was to make sure I get rid of the fungus gnats.
The only problem is the fungus gnats are swarming in the only area I can grow indoors, so I currently have my plants sitting out doors in shade.
I may keep them there for a few days. Will they be able to take the heat (even in shade?), and is it likely that they'll pick up some other pests like aphids or spider mites?
They are outdoors on the second story and near no other plants, so I hope the risk of pests is low.
I'll update with pics when I have the time, today's been a very busy day.

I think the Blossers growth has been stalled. This is what prompted me to re-pot (along with fungus gnats):

Neither the plants nor the clones look healthy to me. I'm guessing the roots are not happy with your mix: they probably don't have enough air or it's too compact. I'm also confused about the palm tree look: all plants I have end up growing from the lower nodes - is yours getting enough light?

I don't think they were. I'm gonna see how they do outside in shade for a few days till all these fungus gnats die. I may keep them out there if they like it.
*EDIT: I'm pretty sure the cuttings are in the condition they are because they took longer than I expected to root, and I began lowering the humidity already, but it turns out they still have tiny roots, so I'm gonna keep them in humidity tents for probably at least another week.
And yeah Drift, my Blosser was branching from lower nodes but then its growth completely stopped, and my HW hasn't ever branched from its lower nodes. Would this be caused by a lighting issue?

*EDIT: I'm pretty sure the cuttings are in the condition they are because they took longer than I expected to root, and I began lowering the humidity already, but it turns out they still have tiny roots, so I'm gonna keep them in humidity tents for probably at least another week.
Yeah, that's a good idea. I can't quite put my finger on it, hopefully its the lighting / soilmix, but something wasn't quite right with those plants :p

Are you saying they could be unhappy with the current mix? I just repotted them today. But yeah, the last potting mix was really bad. It would harden into a really solid block of dirt when it dried out.

No, your old mix sucked.

Then that's why the growth stopped. The roots were unhappy!

So I ended up moving them back indoors to a different location. The Blosser was beginning to wilt from heat even though it was in full shade. I think the new location may provide more light, hopefully they'll be happy with it.
